Comnissioner Wells, in his las nagnificent report, proves by statistic that the number of sheep in th United States has decreased 25 pe uent. within a very few years, bein le s by millions than in 1860, whilt the number of sheep-cating men ha increased by millions. Recent inves tigationis prove that this same alarm ing decrease has al;o taken pihoo it the number of cat to and hogs in th United States.

Therefore Federal Legislation and the Federal Ticasuiy should furnish us with tho means of education. And no matter by what foolish conditions the grant migh5 to1 restricted, we should hail a% lurgo aud liberal appropriation by the general government for Southern Free scho.>ls with uninitgled pleasure. it could not but do us all great good. As to State legislation, 'we approve 0 of what has been done by the party in power upon the subject of free-schools, and are certain that they will do very s well, if let alone. 'Tihe Stato cannot I afford to pay a million dollars more Y of taxes per annum at present, and s they have wisely, therefore, limited the expenditure to about $200,000 y per annum in all. But this we will say, that, if the County School Com mist-ioners were hereafter electel from the Free-school teachers of each County, it would become quite feasi ble, even with that small appropria tion, to have a very superior Free school in each County town ; because the two salaries would then comforta bly support a superior teacher. We will also say, that if one-fourth of the aid which has been extended oy the State to most abominablo jobs and distionest purposes, as, for instance, to the land commission, that most rotten fraud, had been extended to State education, it would have been a far wiser expenditure of mouey,-a bur don, it is true, but not, as at present, an unmitigated curse. Iow It Will Come. Few who refleot upon the prover. bial. indisposition of an Agricultural f population to change, and espeoially upon the peculiarly immovable char actoristicsof the Planters and Farm ers of the South, will believe in a rap. id influx of immigrants. Yet immi- t gration is certain, and will com, not so much by the effurts now being made to bring them about, as through the certain action of material causes t in the future. A larger cotton crop, for instance, Is a certainty, and a fall in price of cotton in consequence ; which will awake attention to the ex podioney of carrying the, mnanufactur, ing process one step farther than sim pyginning the cotton to the spinning and weaving of it at a proilt of from 200,000,000 to 300,000,000 dollars. T1hero is, too, more capital and too< large a number of people engaged in mn ehand ize at present in the South, which rendcers it unprofitable for thoseI who make money by it to enlarge their business in that line. The fall of cotton will prevent their going into cotton-planting with it. W~hat then ? They will buil factories .and foun dries with it. All which will bring in population, create demand for I farms, raise the price of land, and stimulate immigr-ation through the irresistable prompting of self-intorcst. ++ ~.----- I Congr-ess and time State. The n.ows from Congress is, upon the whole, quite cheering. The split of the Radical party has been con- a summ(ner)ated by Sumnner's bill to .* make no distinction as to color in chnrches and burial-grounds.

The Only plausible pleafor a land Lrant to build a Paciflo railway on the 30th parallel is that the North has re eived two or three hundred millions if acres for railways, including one to tho ..P%oifi, and it would b9 unfair to the South not 'to give her the same advantage. - This plea will go a great length toward continuing the outrage, until the public dowain shall be en tirely swall:owod up, gd the oontident afford no refuge for the poor. The trouble with our people is that they do not look much beneath the surface of the hour, and they take but little account of the momentous mortal considerations involved in any policy that we are pursuing or propo ing to pursue. Hence, the leAding citizens of the southern and central sections speak contemptuously, as it in fact deserved, of those of the North who, having gorged themselves with land swindles, now oppose the sanie advantages to a section in which they are not personally interested. These sharks do not oppose it from a high moral standpoint. They merely echo the objections of the more just-mind ed in order to secure to themselves more exclusiveness in their monopoly An intelligent and candid estimate of the question of continuing the land grant policy would convince any one that these grants will within a quar ter of a century make nmanifest the fact that they are an unmitigated abuse, and the people without dis tinction of clas: will curse then and the authors of them. To estimate the comparative results to the two sections of the monopoly policy of the North, and the policy of securing nil the balance of the public lands to actual nettlers only, we must take into view the character of the people and the society that will be produced by the two policies. Sup pose then that the land grant policies be at onice stopped and no acre should hereafter be allowed to any one who will not personally occupy it, and no one be allowed more than 160 acres neither by the general government nor the States themselves-what will be the character of the people North and South a quarter of a century hence? Who will constitute the mass of the people along the Northern half of tihe Ropublic? They will be the most ignoranit,the least njanly,the most vicious, and the least civilized of our whole population. Such only are the pereons who will constitute the serfs and servile elsses which monopoly ainkes ubsolutely indispensible to its support and for the aggiandisement of the monopolists. Those also will own the northern half of the Republic who desire tihe servility of the three fourths or more (of people --the more tihe better for thetdh, ta they think inl.nrdar tht.hy n4ay.flourish aLtie expense of the manhood, the virtue 'id the independence of the masses Judge of the character of such a so ciety ; mean, miserable, merciless anO -maynYiccntI. Now reverse the picture. Who are they that will settle the public do main of the southern half of the Re public under the now policy? The charcter of the people in such sec tions oif the country as have acciden tally been settled on this pr-inciple, in contrast writhi monopolized beotious, tells the story, especially in sections that have been settled some years. The best of our workinmg classes wvill settle the South under this policy. Ilio whole country wvill be gleaned of the superior class of young poor men who aspire to independence. On the contrary,- the opposite class will -be drawni northward under the old and maqnl/icenit policy. in respect , to miorals and intelligence there will be five hundred per cent, difference in favor of the Sotith. In respect to civilization, all travelers will rank the North as semi-civilized as compar ed with the South. in respect to the grand aggregate of wealth there will be two to onme in the South in propor tion to the number of the poptilation. In respet to numbers the e'outh will tell the highest in the census. 13e sides this they will have two Pacific roads. Now, gentlemen wise men of the South, which do - you prefer ? The new policy would be a "god-send" to you, and it would be seen that the monoply policy will have become the Devil's curse to the North. No man can deny the justice of these conclu sions. While Rome acted on the proposed policy-for four or five hun dred years--she gave the world a his tory that will continue to be the' ad miration of all time. When she adopted the monopoly policy she be gan to degenerate, and corruption seethed up in proportion to the in.. crease of her magnificence;/ The change of policy evoked for her the doom that, made Behaazar tremble. Macaulay described in his Horatius the policy that made the noble character : "Their lands were fairly portioned, Their spoils were fairly sold, And ihe Rtomans were like brothers In thme brave dafys of old."

Two Brothers Taken f;om a Kantuok Jail and Hanged. The Louisville "Journal" of Tues day says Our readers are familia with the partiultrs of the blood tragedy enacted last Tuesday a Glasglow Junction, ninety-one mile South of this city, on the Louisvill and Nashville railroad, in which tw estimable citizens, Walker R. Procto and Samuel James were mortall wounded, and H. C. Stacker danger oqsly wounded, by two desporadoce John and Levi Shy, whom they wer endeavorimg to arrest in respoiie to summons of the Shotiff. James die at 1 o'clock Sunday morning. The 8hys, after their capture, wer placed in jail at Glasglow, ten tmile distant trom Gla.glow Junctiol There was a strong disposition t lynch them at the time of their arresi but wiser counsels prevailed. Th desperate deed excited the greate. indignation in the cor munity, an Sunday when the death of James wa announced, the excitement was in tense. Yesterday morning some tim after 12 o'clock, a party of abou forty mounted men quietly enterei the town of Glasglow, surrounded th jail, forced open tihe door, and too] the two Shys out. There was no on, at the jail except the Jailor, ano resistance was useless. They thei forced open a store and got a piece o rope, took the muiderers to the edg of town and huig them on a tree where they were found shortly afto daylight 3esterday morning. T6 operations were conducted inothodi cally, quickly and quietly. Indeed, s little disturbance was created that bu few of the cizens of the town knew an, thing of the ai.ir until the bodies wer found. After hanging the murderer until they were dead, the crow( quietly dispersed. Tho Shys wer bold, bad men, and openly boastei of having killed several inen ii Tennessee, and had sworn to kill thos who had aided in their arret. There is a woman in Joliet with 1 few emphatic ideas on the topic which agitate the bosoms of a portioi of her s.x, and she talks in this way '1I just don't believe in these new we men notions. I raised six bos-fou of them vote now, and the others wil soon be old enough. Then I will hav six votes. Now these good-for-nothiii women who have fooled their timn away, and never raised a single +oy come arout.d and want every woman ti vote for herself. I don't. believe ii such nonsense. I hnve raised my si: boyi, and am going to have every on vote for me. Those women who g< lectut ing around tlic country instea of raising boys, have no business t< vote anyway. And when they sU that they are just as good as I anu and have a right to vote thenmtelveF ij thoy have no boys to do so fo t,u0m, it is not true. If they are a smart as I am, why don't they rais some boys to vote for them? I tel you I don't intend to be cheated ou of my six votes by ariy such good-for nothing folks.
